Well, she did cheat on her husband (the producer of Bewitched) with the (married) associate producer of Bewitched. (Sorry!)

One thing not included above that I thought was fascinating: When he shot the first Newsroom scene (where his character leaks the info to Charlie Skinner), Wood didn't know any of the secrets that would be revealed in his second episode. So you're seeing him play his character's duplicity "straight," rather than…

No, The Bold Ones definitely alternated. The only time you'd get back-to-back episodes of the same series was in the rare case of a two-parter, like "A Continual Roar Of Musketry."

Good point about Mission, although as you say the show scrupulously avoided the fascist implications of the IMF's, uh, mission. A political reading of the show could make for an useful piece of criticism, though.

We did it at Lincoln Center last month, when she was in town to present an award at the Theatre World Awards. Diana's agent had introduced us for another reason last year, and I shamelessly pitched her on doing this interview.
I vaguely remember playing the recording a couple of times and deciding it sounded more like…

Because then you'd get to hear how stupid I sound.

That was John Simon reviewing Abelard and Heloise (the play Chayefsky saw her in) and, yeah, she cherishes that line about the "flying buttresses." I told her I still see Simon at film screenings occasionally, or did until recently, and she just sort of raised an eyebrow.

Get Will to do 11 Questions with her and make that one (well, two) of the questions!

I confess to having been a bit intimidated too, even though I'm usually not during these, and I'd spent a bit of time with her beforehand, AND she was very nice and gave me no reason to be. Probably why I asked that question, in fact.

The one I most regret omitting is A Little Night Music — Sondheim, Hal Prince, Liz Taylor, Len Cariou. By that point we were jumping around chronologically and I just overlooked it in my notes.

I'm not sure I made it completely clear above that the Monday Mornings role Heald turned down was the character eventually played by Alfred Molina. It's interesting to speculate on how closely Heald and Ving Rhames would've recaptured the Heald/McBride dynamic from Boston Public because, as Heald notes, the…

And Frances Conroy played Heald's wife in a CRIME STORY episode. Those came up in passing, but didn't yield any major stories, apart from the fact that they were frantically trying to finish the scene on the roof in Midtown before the sun set and one of the actors (he didn't say who) couldn't remember his lines. …

He's remarkably youthful in person, too. He mentioned that he'd lost out on an opportunity to play Lear on stage a few years ago because they felt he might not be able to appear decrepit enough!

There are some great photos of Heald's Broadway performances on the New York Public Library's website; the one with Christopher Reeve is beautiful:

Really one money shot, which they then gleefully repeated in a couple of later sequences where Bronson is thinking about her.

A lot of episodes are on Youtube at the moment. TNT showed the entire run about 20-25 years ago, and that's where the copies in circulation all seem to derive from. Warner Archive released the theatrical cut of the pilot movie (which differs from the broadcast version mainly in that it has a small amount of…

"Markesan" is indeed popular among horror fans — maybe because, out of Karloff's five acting roles on the series, it's the closest to his Universal horror movie characters? I omitted deliberately because I think it's pretty bad, and even though TV Club 10 isn't technically a top 10 list, I still didn't want to be…

Greenbaum gave credit to his wife, Deane, for a lot of specific Andy Griffith Show gags and references over the years, but I only found one interview (in Lee Pfeiffer's book on the series) where he mentioned that "goober" was dirty. So it's great to get confirmation from locals that it really did mean that in the…

Kazan also took out an ad in the NY Times defending his decision to inform on ideological grounds, which focused the ire of the left on him to a greater extent than it did others who were apologetic, or silent, about having given names to HUAC.

I always thought the ONLY person who should've played Lou Ford in a movie was, of course, Andy Griffith.
